Biology of Gobies is the ultimate compendium on this popular group of aquarium fish

The Biology of Gobies is a new book on Amazon which is more less an anthology on all aspects of fishes in the family Gobiidae. The Biology of Gobies follows up on the Biology of Blennies released in 2009 with so much information to learn abbout gobies it’ll make your head spin. A lot of books about fish focus strictly on their identification and maybe a little bit of ecology so you can actually find the things but the Biology of Gobies pulls out all the stops.

At a list price of about $150 the Biology of Gobies better be a textbook and a quick glance at the table of contents reveals an extensive overview of what makes a fish a goby, physical (meristic) and molecular techniques used to tease out the genetics of gobies, their ecology, biology and of course a big section on identifying some of the more than 2000 species of gobies.
